A Slip of the Rear...
So I was on my way to Walmart during lunch and I took a hard right turn at low speed. Well about midway through the turn my rear tire had a bit of a slip.
 I'm pretty comfortable with bikes, so I immediately corrected, and I didn't freak out or anything, but I did have a moment where I was thinking "What if I lost it?"  So now I'm kinda excited in one way, because I somehow pushed my limits, but a little put off because I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong. I know the tires weren't warm, I was leaned over pretty good, maybe my body position was bad.  Just wanted to share this story and maybe see what you all had to say!  (Sorry if this is the wrong section?)

cold tires on cool pavement + lean...
I think you found your answer.  Gotta take a few mins to warm up those tires.

The other thing that can contribute to the rear spinning up:
fine gravel on the asphalt water oil slick tar snakes You did right. Just stay calm and correct for it. Just like doing doughnuts in a pickup truck or doing kid skids on a bicycle. |

It is the street, there are no healthy limits to find there. The goal is to go from point A to B without "A Slip of the Rear." Nothing good happens after that riding error. Key things for every corner: Look: for traffic, road conditions, pedestrians. Choose a proper entry speed: enter slow, leave fast. Select your line: according to traffic and road conditions (oil tracks, white markings, surface defects, sand). Open the throttle: sooner than later and don't close it again (never downshift). Practice emergency stops during turns in your spare time and away from traffic.

My 6 year old son has been racing this year, just a few times on a PW 50 and the weather was always warm. The last race it was considerably cooler and so I warned him to take a few laps to warm up the tires (but the kids is only 6!) Sure enough, he got to turn #4 and lowsided. When I got to him (mom's in leathers can jump fences and run really fast when their son's crash by the way  )He was standing there looking at the bike in disbelief and he said, "mama, I didn't even do anything wrong, the bike just whoosed out from under me like it was on ice or something." I said, "that kiddo, was a cold tire crash." He didn't do it again. Lesson learned. Ride safe out there!

 Hahhahaha. Ya. Hard to see your little guy crash but a good learning experience for him as well! You can't always explain cold tires to people, they have to feel what it's like sometimes.
